 It appears that I didn't remove them all in
 https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/1951653, so I've removed the
 rest in
 https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/2542414

 Fixed that one too in https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/2542417

 So, I guess they need it.

 It's never been supported, anything that's using it and relying upon it is
 broken and has been for a loooong time.

 We won't be enabling it at all, and all automated svn processes on
 WordPress.org include `--ignore-externals` for this reason.

 Please update your URLs too, `plugins.svn.wordpress.org` is the hostname
 now, not `svn.wp-plugins.org` which hasn't been used in a long time either
 :)

 Additionally, if you're finding random plugins like this, that probably
 means you're checking out a of of plugins, please consider not using SVN
 for that, and using either https://wpdirectory.net/ or
 https://github.com/markjaquith/WordPress-Plugin-Directory-Slurper
